	The default for bonding is use_carrier=1, which makes bonding
use the device driver's netif_carrier_on/off state for link detection.
Bonding only checks via ethtool/mii if use_carrier=0.

	What do you mean by "test localhost with arp, without pass
through lo"?  ARP monitoring issues probes (ARPs) to a remote
destination to confirm that there is connectivity; I'm not sure what
localhost has to do with it.

	In general, though, I have not tested bonding with wireless
adapters, so I'm unfamiliar with how well it does or does not work.
